This Chionanthus page is a genus-rank umbrella record. A green condition stays attached to test conditions, and the record remains limited evidence on the evidence table. Those facts retain their separate jobs instead of becoming a whole-genus conclusion.
The individual records remain organized on the existing genus page. The related plants section supports comparison while keeping its citations outside this umbrella. This structure preserves the green test context, the limited evidence depth, and the rank named by the selected source pack. None is exported to a species record by proximity.

1. Fire evidence and conditions
Fire evidence
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.
The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.
Conditions in the fire evidence
These describe tested or rated plant material. They are not horticultural maintenance instructions.
Placement rules below use each source's own distances or named zones, tied to its rating.
They are not interchangeable with the directory's current Zone 0 guidance.

The evidence
Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself
(a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or
republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
